It's very hard to describe New Year's so far.  I've spent the entire day at home, mostly playing video games and grading projects.  It kinda sucks spending New Year's at home, but oh well.  What can you do?  I'm kinda buzzed right now, but just set a 2nd best time attack score on Tekken 2, so that's kinda good at least.  Today has been up-and-down ( Read more... )

People say, that when one door closes, another one opens.  I suppose that fits into my current situation.  One door in my life has closed, and now a new one is...slighly ajar.  All I have to do is walk through it.  It sounds easy, but for me, it's not.  What lies beyond this new door...only time will tell.  Tomorrow will be a tell-tale sign on ( Read more... )

It was an up-and-down week last week. Things started off pretty well on Monday and most of Tuesday, but then afterwards things were all over the place.

Recap:~ Finding out that I wasn't officially "authorized" to attend the TCNJ Tech Ed conference on Tuesday (even though my paperwork was sent in ( Read more... )

~ At first I thought it was a "could be," a "maybe"...in the back of my head

My first classroom observation is tomorrow during my 15-16 class. I'm being observed by my supervisor, and it's my Graphic Communication Technology class...aka the worst class this semester.

I could've asked my supervisor to visit one of my good classes, aka one of my classes where the students are actually mature, but I feel that if I'm going ( Read more... )

Some answers from a few of my Web Design students regarding their self-evaluation for our 1st project:

• Q: "In response to question #3, what did you do to correct that mistake? How did you know where to look in the code to find the error?"
  A: "I asked Mr. H to help me out and he did."


• Q: "Before this project began, what experiences/prior ( Read more... )

October 6-7

At the beginning of last week, I thought I'd be at home this past weekend getting schoolwork done. Not only did I go out this weekend, but I went to Philly of all places on Saturday. My friend Lauren, who teaches at my school, has been conversing with me quite a bit over the last 3 weeks via Facebook and e-mail. One of her e-mails ( Read more... )

Sept. 29-30

So as of last week, my plans for this past weekend were to stay at home and get work done. Last weekend (Sept. 29-30) I went up to NYC. My original plans THAT weekend were to visit DigitalLife and spend the night at Dennis' apartment in Queens. So I actually did do both, but I got a few bonuses last weekend. I decided to meet up ( Read more... )

Friday

Went to the NHVEA social after school.  Our school district has socials the first? Friday of every month at a bar/restaurant.  Met up with Brian, and we talked for a good while.  Also saw Jesse there, and we chatted for a bit.  Lauren #2 was there, and she came up to me and started chatting with me.  Lauren #1 was there, but in the corner, ( Read more... )
